Best Podcast in Baseball 10.04: Second Chances - a podcast by St. Louis Post-Dispatch

When the Cardinals arrived at the ballpark Sunday for the series finale against Arizona and an attempt to split a series with the Diamondbacks, the lineup, as a collective, had hit 14 home runs. Nolan Gorman, down with Class AAA Memphis, had 11. The Cardinals' top power prospect and closest prospect to the majors is off to a raucous start with the most homers in the organization, 16-game hitting streak, and growing demands from the fan base for his promotion. So what gives? Offense continues to be the question and what the Cardinals are willing to give to get some more consistently. St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist Ben Frederickson joins baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss how long the Cardinals can wait for their offense to stir when it seems so similar to the year before (and the year before that, and the year before that), and what reasoning the team has for not bringing up Gorman as the left-handed, power presence they've been looking for. It's not service time, if that's what you're thinking. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold
